New Host up and Running
Posted by Stephen Downey in AJAX, webhost on March 31, 2006
I have now migrated my blog over to wordpress and changed my web host in the process.  I changed over to InterAdvantage who I have to say have been fantastic with regard support.  I had to contact them during the week as I was still seeing my old web site. It turned out that my ISP was caching the old DNS reference. Every time I emailed the support I got a reply back straight away. They even helped me out when an issue I was having was entirely my making.  I now have the ability to deploy J2EE application which is great as it will allow me to test all those great AJAX tools that have been popping up lately.
AJAX and JSF Visual editor
Posted by Stephen Downey in AJAX, java, JSF on March 22, 2006
Exadel have just released a JSF editor with AJAX support.
JSF, a Web component framework, is the only standard Java Web framework,†said Richard Monson-Haefel, senior analyst for Burton Group. “AJAX, which makes Web sites more responsive, is enjoying an avalanche of grass roots support because of its portability and seamless integration with HTML. Together, JSF and AJAX offer the benefits of standardization with a rich internet experience; a combination that will be attractive to many organizations
Unfortunately, it is a bit pricey at $799 per annual subscription license. I am going to download the trial at the weekend and have a look. I have been using the exadel Studio for eclipse and found the it very good. (Thanks Colin for the recommendation on this one.) I had been looking for a good JSP visual editor plugin for eclipse for quiet a while and this seems to be one of the better ones.
On a different note, I have decided to change my hosting service to InterAdvantage. I have got a pretty good package and will be transferring over this blog to WordPress as soon as the domain transfer goes through. I will post all new RSS feeds here before the change over.
